How Trump Derangement Syndrome Saved America

posted by Steve McCann at American Thinker

While the Democrats and their allies in the legacy media and the Ruling Class wallow in 2024 election post-mortems, they are overlooking the foundational factor in Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the White House -- their immersion in Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

It was TDS that caused this cabal to foolishly throw caution to the wind and overtly and massively engage in voter fraud in 2020 in order to elect a senescent mannequin in Joe Biden, thereby permanently alienating nearly half the electorate. They then stupidly acquiesced to disastrous left-wing ideology in governing the nation. And in 2023-24 they mindlessly attempted to imprison Trump for the rest of his life, thus increasing his popularity among the bulk of the citizenry. Thus, it was Trump Derangement Syndrome that led to Trump’s landslide victory in the 2024 election and the saving of America from being transformed into a one-party socialist oligarchy.

The genesis of Trump Derangement Syndrome was unbridled elitism combined with tacit acceptance of Marxist ideology. The seeds of this disorder were planted during the Obama years and took root in the 2016 campaign further metastasizing throughout the four years of the Donald Trump presidency.

Afraid of losing their status and lifestyles and aware of the ongoing and stealthy success of the Obama-inspired transformation of the nation, the ruling elites since 2009 have been gradually aligning themselves with the Marxist-influenced American Left in the expectation that the radical Left would willingly ally with them and defer to a governing oligarchy dominated by the current Ruling Class.

While there is no written agreement there has been a tenuous understanding on power sharing. The Ruling Class would dominate the corridors of power while the Marxists would be free to transform the culture and society. That is, until Trump’s election in 2016 threatened the elite’s status and the left’s ambitions.

Donald Trump possessed a trait that the ruling elites and their Marxist-inspired allies could never match. Trump could not only relate to and empathize with the masses, but he also thought, acted, and spoke like many of them. The possibility of having a man they perceived to be the composite of their stereotypes of average Americans occupying the White House infuriated the self-styled best and brightest. Trump, to them, was a doppelganger for the dimwitted rednecks from the South, the unkempt factory workers from the Midwest, the ill-educated residents of urban ghettos, the unsophisticated farmers, and the vulgar over-the-road truck drivers.

Trump’s ability to connect with the American people and create a new powerful political movement was an existential threat to the Ruling Class as well as the American Left and their decades-old blueprint for achieving political hegemony and transforming the nation into a one-party socialist state.

Donald Trump's shocking win of the presidency in 2016 caused this cabal to descend into uncontrolled rage, which in turn fully exposed them and their agenda and caused this alliance to commit the biggest blunders in American political history.

The anger at Trump mutated into a frenzied obsession to leave no stone unturned in either forcing him to resign, or effectively neutering his presidency, or impeaching, and if necessary, imprisoning him. In their addled thinking nothing, even if it alienated half the citizenry, was out of bounds to achieve their single-minded goal of destroying Donald Trump and the political movement he initiated.

Despite their incessant ankle-biting, in his first four years as President, Donald Trump rebuilt the economy after the policy disasters of the Bush-Obama years, significantly curtailed illegal immigration, confronted and exposed the Chinese Communist Party, secured never thought possible peace agreements in the Middle East, and did not embroil the United States in any new foreign wars.

Trump’s successes further enraged the ruling elite/radical Left alliance. They unwittingly revealed their furtive alliance, their collective duplicity, their willingness to destroy the Constitution and the rule of law, and the disquieting progress they had achieved in transforming the nation.

Thanks to their immersion in TDS, they effectively ripped open the floorboards and exposed themselves as the termites who have been stealthily and relentlessly undermining the cultural, societal, and governmental foundation of the country.

Thus, over the past eight years, this cabal self-exposed the following (all of which became campaign issues in 2024 and contributed to Trump’s victory):

There is a two-tiered system of justice in the United States based on political affiliation or beliefs. The FBI, once the most respected arm of law enforcement in the country, is now an appendage of the Ruling Class with the Department of Justice their de facto enforcer.
The Ruling Class is willing to spend the nation into bankruptcy and create uncontrolled inflation in order to maintain power and placate their radical leftist allies.
The treasonous alliance of the ruling elites and the radical Left is determined to dramatically transform the ethnic and racial makeup of the electorate by opening the borders and legalizing untold millions of illegal immigrants.
The federal bureaucracy is a leftist-sympathizing power unto themselves that can willfully destroy a president or a common citizen and face no repercussions.
By exploiting the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic as a vehicle to defeat Trump, the denizens of the Ruling Class exposed themselves as petty and vindictive tyrants.
The Democrat party has been self-exposed to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the radical American Left which flagrantly utilizes Nazi tactics to achieve their goals.
In 2020, the ruling elite/radical Left cabal pulled out all the stops including election fraud to accomplish their goal of defeating Trump. As a result, there is no question among a majority of the voting citizenry that election fraud on a grand scale occurred and is still rampant throughout the body politic.
The Ruling Class has acquiesced to their bedfellows, the radical Left, in their tactics for achieving cultural and societal hegemony. Their primary weapons are the accusation of “systemic racism,” the advocacy of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that mandates overt racial discrimination, the turning of a blind eye to virulent anti-Semitism, the promotion of transgenderism and other deviancies, defunding law enforcement, and censorship of so-called “disinformation” and “misinformation.”

Thanks to a Ruling Class consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome and Trump’s stoicism in the face of their unrelenting persecution as well as his indefatigable determination to recapture the White House, Donald Trump will assume a place in the exclusive pantheon of indispensable American presidents that saved the nation. The polar opposite of what the inept, duplicitous, ludicrous, and soon to be irrelevant Ruling Class and their Marxist-inspired allies thought they would achieve.

9 Things Public Schools Won't Tell You About The First Thanksgiving

Babylon Bee🐝

It's Thanksgiving, which brings back memories of what you learned in school about the first Thanksgiving, where pilgrim settlers and natives gathered in peace to eat food, debate about who the land belonged to, and watch the Macy's parade. But what about the things they didn't teach you in school?

The Babylon Bee is here to fill in the gaps left by the things public school won't tell you about the first Thanksgiving:

The Patriots defeated the Redskins 42-3 in the first Thanksgiving Day football game: It was just the first of what would be many slaughters.
The turkey was carved by none other than a young Joe Biden: Historian accounts tell of how young Joe enjoyed sniffing the hair of young Indian girls.
Even though they were starving, the pilgrims politely passed on the Indians' marshmallow jello salad: There are fates worse than death.
French settlers in Canada got the date wrong and accidentally celebrated a month early: A tradition that continues to this day.
Pilgrim wives rushed off following the meal to get doorbuster deals at Kohl's: Bonnets and shoes with large silver buckles on them were going for half price.
Indians were suspicious of the hot dish labeled "smallpox": One Indian did politely end up taking some of it home, though no one is sure what happened after that.
Scandal erupted after it was revealed that the pilgrims' potato salad was store-bought: The tell-tale clear plastic clamshell container was reportedly found in the trash can.
Several pilgrims still ended up dying of starvation after they got tired of eating leftover turkey sandwiches: Even the hungry can only eat so much turkey.
The holiday was later named for the man who came up with the idea, Bob Thanksgiving: And for Bob, we are all truly thankful.

Your public school education may have robbed you of this valuable knowledge, but now you know the whole story. What other little-known facts about the first Thanksgiving have you heard about? Post them in the comments below.

A Thanksgiving Guide for Crazy Uncles

By Jared Gould 26 Nov 2024 Published in Mind the Campus

https://www.mindingthecampus.org/2024/11/26/a-thanksgiving-guide-for-crazy-uncles/

This Thanksgiving you might step into the role of the “crazy uncle.” You know the one—big opinions, the loudest voice, met with apathy. But maybe their ideas aren’t dismissed because they’re wrong. They just don’t always bring enough receipts. This year, I’m here to help. Here are a few examples to back your claim that the world, if not ending, is certainly getting dumber.

Begin with Brittany Patterson, a mother from Fannin County, Georgia, whose arrest for “reckless conduct” is both absurd and alarming. Her supposed crime? Failing to know her 10-year-old son had walked a short mile to visit his friend’s grandmother. A passerby spotted the boy, called the sheriff, and soon Patterson found herself in handcuffs. Readers of an older generation might struggle to fathom such overreach. Children once roamed neighborhoods for hours without GPS trackers or cellphones, yet today, a simple stroll is enough to trigger accusations of neglect.

Having grown up in the era of helicopter parenting, however, I’m less surprised. Patterson’s ordeal is emblematic of a broader societal shift—we’ve outsourced parenting to institutions like the police, schools, and social services, granting them authority to enforce a zero-tolerance approach to risk.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt described Patterson’s arrest as a national wake-up call: “One lesson should be: parents, go as a group to your local police department and ask them to work with you, to support you as parents and not arrest you.” Haidt is right, though perhaps overly optimistic that one could reason with a police department that chose to prioritize arresting a mother over pursuing more serious offenses—tracking down drug traffickers, murderers, or even locating some of the 10 million illegal migrants who recently entered the country, one of whom tragically murdered a college student in Georgia.

The real absurdity, however, lies in a society that jails a mother for allowing her child a moment of independence while simultaneously insisting that children should have total independence when it comes to making irreversible decisions about their gender.

Take, for example, an Indiana family who recently lost custody of their teenage son over a disagreement about his transition to living as a woman. The parents, steadfast in their religious convictions, opposed the transition, believing it to be harmful. Yet a judge, swayed by dubious psychological theories—learned in college, no doubt—ruled against them, citing their opposition as detrimental to the child’s well-being. The decision fractured the family and set a troubling precedent. Even the so-called conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene.

The paradox of the zero-tolerance approach to risk is that it can be stretched so far as to encompass protecting the child’s feelings—affirming he is a she or she is a he—while permitting actual physical harm through irreversible hormone therapies or sex-change surgeries. Feelings no longer need to reconcile with facts. It is no surprise then that your sister now lives in a society where she could be criminalized for allowing your nephew a taste of independence but sidelined entirely if your nephew seeks to become your niece.

You might also bring up science—a word many of your relatives likely invoked during the pandemic to urge your compliance with masks and vaccines.

Tell your cousins about the collapse of Eliezer Masliah’s career. Once a respected figure in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research, Masliah’s fall from grace was precipitated by a forensic review that uncovered manipulated data and doctored images in his work. The fallout from this scandal is staggering. Drugs developed based on years of painstaking work and millions of dollars may be rendered utterly useless. But Masliah is not the only one.

Ranga Dias, the physicist from the University of Rochester whose career, once filled with promise, is now tarnished by allegations of research misconduct as well.

Born in Sri Lanka, Dias earned his Ph.D. from Washington State University and conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard—a university you could spend the entire holiday season picking apart. In 2022, Dias’s claim of discovering room-temperature superconductivity made headlines, but soon after, his so-called groundbreaking article in Nature was retracted, followed by four more articles and damning revelations of data manipulation, plagiarism, and fabrication. It was even uncovered that a substantial portion of his Ph.D. thesis was plagiarized. As of now, after a year of restrictions on his research activities, Dias has been recommended for dismissal from the University of Rochester.

An Aunt at the table might argue that the exposure of these men demonstrates the system’s integrity—that science can self-correct by identifying and holding bad actors accountable. But such optimism would obscure the deeper rot within modern scientific practice. The fall of Masliah and Dias shows how easily the integrity of the scientific process can be compromised. Reformers argue that the entire enterprise has devolved into a pressure cooker, prioritizing flashy publications, grants, and headlines over genuine discovery.

Critics like Scott Turner trace this problem to a cultural shift within science itself, from an “ethic of discovery” rooted in curiosity and communalism to an “ethic of production” driven by bureaucratic demands. The result is a system that rewards quantity over quality, churning out unreadable, often meaningless research. Even well-meaning reforms, like preregistration and open data initiatives, address symptoms rather than the root problem: a culture of perverse incentives that values output over truth.

In other words, your nieces and nephews have no basis for saying, “Trust the science, Uncle Bob.”

If the football channel hasn’t yet been switched on, you might still have time to offer your family one more example. I urge you to have them consider the state of literacy.

Columbia University, once a beacon of academic rigor with its vaunted Core Curriculum, now faces the uncomfortable reality that many of its students are ill-equipped to tackle full-length books. As Liza Libes observes, these students increasingly rely on summaries, study guides, and excerpts, avoiding the intellectual challenge of engaging with original texts. And this is not a problem confined to Columbia alone. High schools are increasingly skipping novels in favor of snippets, and colleges are graduating students who can barely process more than a headline.

To make matters worse, grade inflation has masked this decline, turning report cards into little more than hollow praise—empty symbols of achievement that no longer reflect actual learning or intellectual growth. Richard Vedder offers a sobering analysis of this trend, noting that today’s students work far less than their predecessors yet earn significantly higher grades. The pandemic, which sent thousands of students into the abyss of online schooling, only deepened this slide into intellectual apathy. With these standards crumbling, it begs the question: how can we expect young people to meaningfully engage with complex texts—or, by extension, with the world around them?

It’s hard to say, but to spare you from more reading and allow you to enjoy your dinner while it’s hot, I’ve reached the end.

My fellow crazy uncles, these hard truths will undoubtedly be met with nervous laughter and a swift pivot—”Pass the gravy, please.” But beneath the deflections lies a bitter reality: arrested mothers, scientific fraud, and plummeting academic standards. And that’s just the beginning. I didn’t even touch on rising anti-Semitism, malign foreign influence, sports scandals, accreditation scams, or the fact that your turkey is probably genetically engineered. Families, it’s time to admit that your crazy uncles aren’t so crazy after all. The world is growing stranger with each passing day, and pretending that the gravy boat isn’t full won’t make the meal any less caloric. Sometimes, it’s the one willing to connect the dots—even between servings of turkey and stuffing—who reminds us of what’s truly on the table.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Five Things To Be Thankful For In 2024

posted by Derek Hunter at Townhall

Happy Thanksgiving. Normally, this is where I, as a native Detroiter, would apologize for the Lions and today’s first football game, but they’re kicking ass this year, so you’re welcome. With that being said, and history as a guide, every Detroiter still has the sinking feeling that the team could blow a 10-1 record, so maybe I’ll just partially apologize on spec. Old habits die hard.

But there are reasons to be thankful this year, many reasons, actually. In the interest of brevity and a desire to get you back to your family, I’ll try to limit it to just five

Number 5: Be thankful you are not Joe Biden. True, this was number 5 last year, too, but it’s even more important to be thankful for it now. Why? Because you’re not a year further down the road of dementia, of course. That’s horrible, I know, but so is Joe as President, so I don’t feel that badly about it.

Biden was forced out because “he couldn’t win,” his “friends” insisted, then they replaced him with the only politician in the country with a lower approval rating than he had and they expected her to win? Joe may not have all his faculties, but the rest of the Democratic Party establishment are out of their collective mind!

The President will now live the rest of his life knowing his friends betrayed him for nothing and his legacy will be wiped out completely by the man he hates. The only thing he has going for him is it’s unlikely he’ll remember any of it inside of 3 months.

Number 4: Be thankful you are not Tim Walz. The Governor of Minnesota, just minding your own business when, out of the blue, you’re picked in a panic to be the running mate of the sitting Vice President for the simple fact that you are not Jewish. That’d come as a shock, I’d think.

That’s why Walz was picked – because Josh Shapiro is Jewish and the Democratic Party was terrified of offending their radical wing who view Adolf Hitler as a “good starting point.” With Shapiro, Pennsylvania is probably lost for Trump, but Harris was too afraid of losing Michigan to stand up for what is right that she ended up losing both.

Through it all, Walz disintegrated. He went from a retired military hero and champion football coach to a disgraced fraud who was an unpaid defensive coordinator hanging around with young kids. With minimal examination his whole life’s story collapsed like a house of cards being sneezed on. His lies would have gone undiscovered (great oppo research, Minnesota GOP) had his party not hated Jews so much. Now he has to live the rest of his life exposed with a wife so grating that the campaign pulled her from the campaign trail at a time they were desperate for anyone to speak on their behalf. I’m half tempted to donate to any effort to get him to run in 2028.

Number 3: Be thankful you are not Nancy Pelosi. My God, what a horrible creature she is, and I’m not talking about her looks. OK, I’m not talking exclusively about her looks.

Nancy was number 3 last year, so there’s something to be said for consistency. This year, Nancy not only lost the ability to not look like she’s stuck forever in the moment something shockingly horrible was revealed to her, she flexed her political muscle to remove a President from the ballot and lost the election. She pulled off the political equivalent of jumping out of a plane with engine problems without a parachute.

I’m glad Nancy is there. Her refusal to leave Congress at an age just north of dirt demonstrates how racist she and her party are. Her replacement as “leader” is a young black man, but she holds the real power behind the scenes – she got rid of a President while Hakeem Jeffries is rarely invited onto CNN. She gets more media requests than any other Democrat because she is in charge, no matter what title someone else has. And the public hates her.

May she live to be 200 and never retire, beating her is that much fun.

Number 2: Be thankful you aren’t Matt Drudge. He either still owns the website named after him or he doesn’t. Either way, he’s lost all relevance.

When not posting a “sassy” Rex Reid movie review or the latest Ricky Martin news, the Drudge Report has turned into the Huffington Post with less testosterone. My late friend Andrew Breitbart would not recognize his former place of employment. What good is all the money in the world if no one gives a damn you exist?

Drudge had to introduce modern pop-up ads for revenue and seems to have lowered the auto-refresh time to up traffic numbers, which is the web traffic version of shoving a cucumber in your underwear while wearing tight jeans. Were he not so insufferable, you might almost feel bad.

Finally, Number 1: Be thankful you do not work in the corporate left-wing media. They suffered more than just about anyone else in the election. They put everything into beating Donald Trump and lost. Everything. Imagine giving something absolutely all you could and not only coming up short, but humiliatingly so. They set fire to the credibility and, ultimately, their audience – MSNBC has lost more than half their viewers, having finally realized they were being lied to.

Not only did they discover just how irrelevant the work they’d dedicated their lives to doing is to the public, they now have to live desperately trying to get information from the very people they’d smeared as Nazis. It was one thing when they just disagreed and didn’t like each other, but how many leaks can the New York Times expect after a year of calling everyone Hitler?

CNN is allegedly rebooting, which could mean just about anything because CNN is the ugly, unpopular friend MSNBC hangs around with so it feels pretty. And MSNBC is expect to be for sale soon and the world’s richest man is toying with the idea of buying it with the change in his sock drawer for the express purpose of firing horrible people. Elon Musk is probably joking, but the fact that he has enough money to make his jokes come true and would likely see his net worth increase by more than the $7 billion all of Comcast’s cable networks are allegedly worth in the time it took to sign the paperwork to finalize the deal, has to give Rachel Maddow pause and Joy Reid even deeper racist thoughts.

You gotta love it.

As you find room for one more slice of pumpkin pie or just a little bit more stuffing and being to regret how much you ate today, never regret that you are not any of these people because they are just the worst. Happy Thanksgiving, go Lions!

Tom Homan, Greg Abbott Serve Thanksgiving Meal to Troops While Biden Vacations In Swanky Nantucket

Republicans are evil. They hate America, they are fascists, they are out to destroy democracy, blah, blah, blah. That’s what the left wants you to think. However, actions are much louder than words, and that proves to be true this Thanksgiving.

While outgoing President Joe Biden spends the holiday week strolling around in the land of woke and elites, President-elect Donald Trump’s new border Czar, Tom Homan, and Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) are serving American troops a Thanksgiving dinner.

Meanwhile, lame-duck Biden and outgoing First Lady Jill Biden headed to billionaire David Rubenstein’s $34 million Nantucket compound for the consecutive fourth year to celebrate the holiday.

The Biden family, including the president’s just as corrupt son, Hunter Biden, touched down at the Nantucket Memorial Airport after arriving via private jet before making their way to the 14-acre property.

Two-time felon Hunter Biden awaits confirmation on whether his father will pardon him before he leaves office.

The New York Post pointed out that the Biden family is unlikely to pay to stay at the multi-million dollar compound, which critics say is not a good look for the president.

“The problem is the not disclosing. And it makes it very hard for those of us who are very critical of the Supreme Court justices who are not disclosing this kind of stuff,” University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter said. “It’s not just the house; I’m sure this guy has greased the skids in all sorts of ways with his money for Biden and the Democrats.”

He explained that Biden's spending his free time soaking up wealth at the homes of billionaires makes it hard for Americans to relate to the president, who, thanks to his economic policies, has made it hard for people to afford a Thanksgiving dinner for the past four years.

While the Democratic Party always claims they are the “party of the people,” Biden, as well as former President Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), create an “impression of elitism.”

Painter penned a compelling question about why Americans can no longer relate to the Democratic Party.

“Do you want the [George] Soros candidate or the Elon Musk candidate?” He asked.

The Establishment’s Scandal Scam Tactics Won’t Work Anymore

posted by Kurt Schlichter at Townhall

The regime media is circling around Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump’s other outsider appointees to do the bidding of the establishment to make sure the status quo stays safely undisrupted. But this is a new game, and they are running the old playbook. With Hegseth, it’s alleging a sex scandal that’s no scandal at all. They do it by selectively quoting from a police report that led to zero charges and by ignoring the myriad facts within that would cause most fair-minded individuals to conclude this was a hookup instantly regretted by a horny wife whose husband and kids were just a few hotel rooms away. The regime media reports, of course, exclude the many exonerating details that recovering lawyer Megyn Kelly in particular has gone over in-depth and which totally exonerate the nominee. They don’t care about the truth; they want to frame him to stop him. But you know what? This kind of smear does not matter anymore to anyone who matters.

If you remember the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, you saw a bunch of wavering Republican senators who failed to dismiss the ridiculous claims against him out of hand. It’s easy to waver when you lack a spine; they almost did what Republicans usually do and defaulted to assuming the credibility of what appeared on the tube or the front page of the regime media. The wacky charges were all over the three networks, all over the New York Times and Washington Post, and all over cable, too. And the squishes were on the verge of panic and rout. Only Kavanaugh’s refusal to quit and Trump’s refusal to back down saved the nomination.

But this time it’s is different. It’s six years later, and everything has changed. The first change is that all but the weakest Republicans seem to have figured out that the Democrats’ go-to plan is to smear our nominees because they cannot win on the merits. We saw that from Russiagate all the way to the ridiculous criminal cases against Trump that are now in the process of finally falling apart completely. It was all lies, all the time, and the Democrats – with their regime media catspaws – had no compunction about destroying their political enemies. Even the dumbest GOP senator is eventually going to wonder why the wolf the Democrats are always crying about never seems to show up.

But the key change is that the regime media ain’t what it used to be. It used to be all-powerful, but it is on the way to being all over. Quick, name one of the three networks’ nightly news anchors. Just one. Most folks have no idea who any of them are, but back in the day, any non-comatose adult could identify Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Peter Jennings, or even a pre-being caught lying Dan Rather. When that scuzzy weasel got beat up by some babbling weirdo in 1986, he was culturally important enough for REM to write what turned out to be its last good song, “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” Now, you wouldn’t know a news anchor if he came up to you with a sign reading “Will Work for Nielsen Rating” – well, maybe you remember David Muir because he intervened in the debate for Kamala Harris. I think he might be a news anchor. I don’t know. Maybe he’s a different type of jerk.

And how about The View? Who watches that? Only SSRI-ridden suburban wine women who are always going to support the commies anyway. And the cable networks? CNN and MSNBC’s ratings are totally in the toilet. They would be thrilled to get a million viewers out of 330 million Americans. Johnny Carsonaveraged 17 million a night when America had half the people. He mattered; these nobodies don’t.

This Hegseth faux-scandal may be a huge deal in the regime media, but who’s watching the regime media anymore? This last election wasn’t the regime media election. Since the mid-50s, television and newspapers have dominated the discourse and set the narrative during our election cycles. Now? Now, it’s Joe Rogan. Now, it’s any number of podcasters. Now it’s Elon Musk by creating a truly free public square in the form of Twitter—I just can’t call it “X.”

Those crazy kids today – the Millennials and Gen Zers – don’t even watch TV. Have you seen young people today? They’re not sitting in front of the boob tube. They watch short clips on social media or YouTube and get their long-form info from podcasts. And the podcasters aren’t from the regime media. They’re the guys the regime media guys tried to exile. It’s like high school – the nerds may run student government, but they’re not getting invited to the party. Joe Rogan is at the party, and he’s slamming beerbongs over by the keg.

So, we have an interesting phenomenon. We have the regime media trying to gin up a bunch of salacious nonsense about Pete Hegseth and stuff about Tulsi Gabbard and RFK, Jr., as well. But you know who is seeing it? People who are never going to vote for us anyway. We will never get votes from people who subscribe to the Washington Post or the New York Times. We will never get votes from people who watch The View, Good Morning, America, or any of those nightly news programs if anyone does watch them. We’re never going to get any MSNBC viewers, and the only CNN viewers we are going to get are people who watch clips of Scott Jennings owning his communist tablemates every night on that godforsaken channel.

Now, the problem is that some GOP senators probably still watch that stuff. They still care what the WaPo says, although to a much lesser extent than even six years ago. They might get the false impression that there’s some sort of outrage tsunami sweeping the nation about Hegseth’s seven-year-old one-night stand. But there’s not. It’s nothing. It’s a non-happening. If you go out on the street and talk to normal people, about one in one hundred will be aware of Pete Hegseth and his unrepentant heterosexuality. That’s what Republicans need to understand. What they’re seeing is an illusion. What they’re seeing is a scam, a Jedi mind trick designed a convince them that people who aren’t weirdos, losers, or mutations care about this pseudo-scandal.

The problem for us is that all the Republicans have to do to prevail is be smart and strong. Sadly, for a few Republicans, these are still a couple of adjectives too far. We’re not where we were 20 years ago, ten years ago, or even six years ago, when you had a huge craven caucus within the Republican Party. Now, only a few are really weak. Lisa Murkowski is always terrible. Susan Collins is the best we will ever get for Maine, so I don’t hold that against her. But there are folks like Tom Tillis, James Lankford, and John Cornyn, who never miss a chance to try to get some fleeting praise for sticking Republicans. They will tug on their shirt collars and harrumph about Pete Hegseth’s sex life, but we know the real reason they don’t want him is because he will be a disruptor. He will go in and change things at the Pentagon, and many folks don’t want the gravy train derailed.

But these establishment types need to understand something. While the vast majority of people either don’t know or don’t care about this non-scandal, we conservatives care about collaboration with the Democrat liars and complicity with the regime media smear machine. We’re not going to tolerate it. We’re not going to take it anymore. Tillis and Cornyn are both up for reelection in 2026. Mark our words – if they or anybody else sides against us and with the damn communists, we’re going to remember, and it will be primary time. Plus, you know, Donald Trump isn’t going to forget another betrayal.

We are watching, Republicans. Get on board.
